Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Diversity in the curriculum refers to the study of one or more groups that have been historically marginalized on the basis of culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, class, disability, religion, age, immigration, and/or geopolitical power. Diversity-designated courses facilitate academic inquiry, analysis and understanding of past and current differences, conflicts, and relations of power, thereby moving the discourse of diversity beyond mere tolerance, celebration, or appreciation.
